What will I fight for as California's youngest-ever State Senator?
I hope to represent common-ground ideals that can heal the damage done to California by its current political climate:
Lifestyle Liberty
I believe that every adult individual should be free to live their lives however they see fit, as long as they respect the rights of others to do the same.
Part of the reason our State's culture is so divided is that we all live under what is often a legitimate fear that those of different lifestyles and beliefs are going to force their views on us through legislation.
Wild Nature
If elected, I will fight to facilitate a harmonious relationship with the natural world by promoting Regenerative Agriculture, fostering more localized and self-reliant economies, and preserving California's wilderness - not by dumping your money on fruitless renewable energy projects or criminalizing your lawnmower.
Free Markets
The system is rigged against California's workers, entrepreneurs, and consumers. We need to cut taxes, fees, and restrictions that impede small businesses and increase costs in all areas of the economy. We need to reject protections and benefits for large corporations that give them an artificial edge in the marketplace, or let them get away with harming the public.
Strong Communities
I want to encourage and empower local charities, volunteer groups, mutual aid societies, and everyday people to take on the tasks currently left to bloated, inefficient, and discriminatory Government services. We can all agree that ideally, we should be able to depend on ourselves and our neighbor, not the State.
About My Campaign...
Greetings! My name is Elijah Mack, and I'm running to represent District #21 as California's youngest-ever State Senator.
If elected, I'll fight to truly free the markets, preserve wild nature, and create strong, interdependent communities.
Through years of steadily increasing levels of violent crime and drug abuse, inflated costs of living, and overall political dysfunction, a Democrat stronghold has continued to manipulate Californians into electing the very officials and supporting the same policies which have sent the state in a downward spiral since the party took power. Government-crafted social and cultural division has forced Californians to pick between the failing Democrats and a Republican super-minority, while many are left feeling that neither side offers commonsense policy, or has the ability to reach over party lines to do so.
It's time for a new paradigm in California Politics.
California needs legislation put forth that attempts to truly free the markets, that gets corporations out of politics, that protects individual Liberty for Californians of all lifestyles and worldviews, and establishes sufficient protections for the environment. We need legislation that fights to shrink the size and scope of the State Government whenever practical, seeking to foster community-based solutions and an organically healthy economy before Government intervention is even brought to the table.
The Golden State needs legislators who will think for themselves, we need the opinions of young, idealistic representatives, not unenthusiastic, long-time local politicians just trying to work their way up to Congress.
Dissatisfaction with the present political system, expansive Government, and non-cooperative politics is a national phenomenon, and America is prime for a massive shift in the political landscape, one that leads to a nation with proper and ideologically diverse representation, effective political solutions, and overall more streamlined Government.
You, the voters of District #21, have a chance to make California ground-zero for this revolution. What starts as a single race for a seat in our State Legislature can become a massive statewide, regional, and hopefully nationwide movement.
